Doctor Day

After my marvelous day yesterday, I was wondering what Friday would bring. I had forgotten that Friday was Doctor day at radiation. Of course you can understand that I competed with them in sharing information. They got a big kick out of my front yard band concert and trip to the ice cream factory. Turns out that one of them lives in our neighborhood and one in Wyoming. My "Potential Host Family" radar went off right away. The basic report was that I was doing pretty good so far but that next week should be when the radiation gremlins will be showing their ugly faces. I must comment on what a wonderful, compassionate, and caring bunch of people work there. I hope they all realize that their behavior plays a key role in the patient's day to day battle. The rest of the day was a blur. I could not keep my eyes open. I slept away the day and then went to bed early. Except for my dear friend Paul bringing a tasty milk shake and a few friends calling for an update, which I love, by the way, most of the day took place behind my eyelids. I just felt "cruddy" with very little energy to fight it. And cold, man did it get cold. We dropped 30 degrees in 12 hours here and lost 3 big tree branches from the wind. I think more of us should have joined Paul, Maryann, Tina, Ole, Sebastian and Kristine down in Miami. Oh yes, I almost forgot. The WWHS Honor Roll came out and all four girls, Nina, Kristine, Tina and Katerin were on it. I haven't seen the other school lists yet but I suspect that many more of our 12 kids will make it. It maces us very proud of all of them. And now I'll end today's review and look forward to a weekend with my eyes open more so that I can see clearly all the blessings I have around me. And maybe even get a few little projects done. Motivation is low right now and needs a boost. One day at a time, I know. God Bless you all!
